Chapter 611: Chapter 0613: Crystal Document

Nangong Yunhai took quite a while to grasp the meaning behind Chu Ge’s words.

He suddenly smacked his forehead, his hand once again stained with blood. He glanced at it, the gloom in his heart not dissipated by Chu Ge’s recent words, on the contrary, it deepened.

No matter what, he had just taken a solid hit from Yuwen Kangli’s stick!

If it wasn’t for Chu Ge’s timely arrival, he would probably be lying in a hospital right now. By then, even if he didn’t want to escalate the conflict to a family feud, his relatives, upon seeing him injured, would definitely not let the Yuwen Family off the hook.

Chu Ge took a couple of steps and saw that Nangong Yunhai was still standing in the same spot, his handsome fair face twisted with indecision.

Chu Ge helplessly shook his head and added, "Why did he suddenly ambush you in the parking lot? Did you do something to him before?"

Nangong Yunhai pursed his lips, hesitant and awkwardly began: "It’s really nothing much, just that I beat him up over a small matter before."

Chu Ge was speechless. So it seemed the fault lay with Nangong Yunhai.

Chu Ge looked at Nangong Yunhai with a hint of amusement. He’s still just a kid, not really thinking things through.

Nangong Yunhai pursed his lips – he wouldn’t dare to be too presumptuous nor impolite in front of Chu Ge. Muttering, he said, "He started cursing at me first. We were hurling insults, and then it escalated to blows. Who knew he’d be such a coward, unable to take me on alone, now gathering people to gang up on me."

As Nangong Yunhai spoke, he even felt a flicker of disdain for Yuwen Kangli. It was one thing not being able to defeat him, but now he even brought backup to attack him!

Something seemed to strike Nangong Yunhai, and he suddenly lifted his eyes, full of yearning toward Chu Ge, and said, "Mr. Chu, will you teach me ancient martial arts?"

If he could master them, he wouldn’t be afraid of anyone in the future.

Chu Ge gently shook his head, "Your sister wouldn’t agree."

Just a few words and Nangong Yunhai’s hope was replaced by disappointment.

Indeed, his sister would never agree.

He’d raised this issue more than once in the past, and each time his sister would strongly reject it.

His sister always said that the world of martial arts was dangerous. If he learned ancient martial arts, getting involved with more things would increase the danger.

He knew, being the first in line to inherit the Nangong Family, he carried too much on his shoulders; inherent dangers lurked around him, his sister didn’t want to add unnecessary troubles.

Nangong Yunhai drove Chu Ge to the train station, where Shen Congwen stood at the entrance, clutching a black bag, anxiously waiting.

Inside the bag was Earth Ganoderma worth millions. The Earth Ganoderma might be small, but the weight it carried was tremendous.

In the deep autumn season, the leaves on the trees along the road had withered, leaving only the barren trunks. Even with sunshine, Shen Congwen felt cold standing in the shady area.

He rubbed his hands together, planning to step into the sunlight to warm up.

However, he had only taken a few steps when someone bumped into him.

All Shen Congwen heard was a clattering sound as if something had broken.

The bag in his arms also dropped to the ground with a thud.

Startled, Shen Congwen quickly picked up the bag and nervously checked the contents. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing was damaged.

His gaze swept around unintentionally and he saw a plainly dressed middle-aged woman sitting on the ground with a crying expression. In front of her lay shattered pieces of glass.

"Ma’am, I’m so sorry, are you alright?" Shen Congwen apologized to the woman and intended to help her up, but as he reached out his hand, she sharply pushed him away.

"You! How can you be so careless when you walk? This was a high-quality crystal I had just bought, worth tens of thousands, and you smashed it to pieces just like that."

After saying that, the woman slapped her leg and sat on the ground, beginning to cry.

Shen Congwen’s scalp tingled. He noticed the woman’s attire, which wasn’t particularly opulent but seemed like that of a wealthy person’s; she didn’t look like someone who would lie about being able to afford a crystal worth tens of thousands.

But the crystal fragments on the ground told a different story. It must have been a crystal ball, but the debris scattered around was too shattered, not resembling something that broke from a simple fall.

Shen Congwen’s expression flashed with suspicion as he gazed coldly at the woman, scrutinizing her.

Perhaps feeling guilty, the woman coughed lightly and glared at Shen Congwen with displeasure, "What are you staring at me for? Say it, what should we do now?"

A thought flashed through Shen Congwen’s mind—this woman was trying to scam him.

Thinking this, Shen Congwen remained composed and looked at her, "Ma’am, what do you think we should do?"

"Compensate me!" The woman extended her hand towards Shen Congwen, speaking in a very unfriendly tone: "When I bought this crystal, it cost me over thirty thousand. Anyway, it has passed through my hands, so you owe me twenty-five thousand for the damage."

Her demand for twenty-five thousand seemed almost like she was conceding to Shen Congwen.

Shen Congwen watched the woman with a hint of mockery and said, "Ma’am, all these words have come from your mouth. I have no knowledge of the truth here, and besides, how can you prove that your crystal is worth twenty-five thousand?"

Upon hearing this, the woman, realizing that Shen Congwen was apparently not planning to pay, became urgent, "I have the receipt! This receipt can prove I spent over thirty thousand buying this crystal. Hey young man, are you trying to hit and run without paying? If you really bully me, your elder, like this, then I will have to call the police, you know."

The woman had detected from Shen Congwen’s accent that he was not a local from Beijing, so she intensified her attempt to bully him, "Since you’ve said so much, I will not hold back either."

She pulled a piece of paper from her pocket and waved it in front of Shen Congwen, "Look, the invoice is clear. I bought this crystal for thirty-eight thousand. If you don’t trust me, I won’t be polite. Whatever amount is written on this invoice, that’s what you’ll reimburse me!"

The woman evidently had her sights set on Shen Congwen; she had been observing him for a while, judging from his clothes and demeanor, that he must be from a rich and distinguished family.

Thirty or forty thousand would be a trifle to these people!

But Shen Congwen, seeing the woman pull out an invoice from her pocket, already knew this was a scam.

Ha, who goes around with a crystal and invoice worth tens of thousands?

Moreover, the date on the invoice was for a purchase two months ago.

Shen Congwen did not outright expose her but instead asked, "Ma’am, did you just buy this crystal?"
